The car was silent; apart from the whistling wind, no one spoke.
Jiang Xile turned her head to the side, observing the surroundings and mentally rehearsing what kind of situation she would face.
The car drove for about an hour and a half before stopping in front of an empty warehouse.
"Please get out of the car, madam. We'll wait here for Brother Mo to arrive!"
Zhu Chaolong held a gun in his hand, looking smug, as if victory was already in his grasp.
Jiang Xile got out of the car without hesitation. She had handled guns quite a bit during the apocalypse, and with her skills, it would be a piece of cake for her to take the gun from Zhu Chaolong's hand.
However, the situation inside the warehouse is unclear, so Jiang Xile decided to keep a low profile for now, play the long game, and catch the big fish.
Upon entering the warehouse, I found quite a few people inside. I counted them briefly, and including the two people next to me, there were twelve in total.
Things were getting a bit tricky. No matter how skilled she was, she couldn't possibly take on twelve opponents at once. Jiang Xile's expression turned somewhat grave.
"Hurry up and go!"
Zhu Chaolong reached out and pushed Jiang Xile, causing her to stumble as she tried to conceal her true condition.
After all, the more vulnerable the hostage is, the more likely they are to lower their guard!
"Master Hai, I've brought the person over, as you promised..."
Jiang Xile stood aside, watching Zhu Chaolong walk towards the group of people, bowing and scraping like a lapdog.
"Xiao Zhu, you did a great job. Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you!"
After saying that, the man took an envelope out of his pocket and handed it to Zhu Chaolong.
"Once today's business is settled, take this letter of introduction to Mayor Zhao, and he will make arrangements for you!"
Very good, I've learned about another person. Regardless of what Mayor Zhao is planning to do for these people, this whole affair shows he's definitely not a good person.
Zhu Chaolong accepted the letter of introduction, his face immediately breaking into a wide smile.
"Thank you so much for your guidance, Master Hai. You are truly my benefactor. I will forever remember your great kindness!"
"We're all brothers, why say such things! As long as you don't betray the organization, the organization will definitely help you!"
Good heavens, Jiang Xile listened to all of this without changing her expression, glancing at the man's nonchalant expression, as if he wasn't afraid of being overheard by Jiang Xile at all.
It seems that leaving here today won't be easy. But what kind of organization is this?
Jiang Xile couldn't help but wonder: although the reform and opening up had begun, there were still some unscrupulous thieves hiding in the shadows, trying to take advantage of the chaos.
In recent years, since the expulsion of the scoundrels and the victory in the civil war, the country has been arresting spies, and my father has been the main force in this regard. Just now, Zhu Chaolong mentioned Liu Ziming.
Jiang Xile guessed that the matter was probably related to Liu Ziming's research some time ago.
Although she didn't ask any further questions, she knew that Liu Ziming wouldn't bother with small projects.
The fact that he was able to participate in person, and for such a long time, clearly shows that this project is very important to the country.
Therefore, it's no wonder that it attracted the attention of these people!
However, after lurking around for so long, what could possibly drive these people to such desperate measures, risking exposure to capture her and blackmail Liu Ziming?
Sure enough, the next second after dismissing Zhu Chaolong, the man named Haiye walked towards Jiang Xile.
"You're Jiang Yanshu's daughter?"
Jiang Xile looked at the man in front of her. Although he was wearing sunglasses, she could still feel his cold gaze.
Like a venomous snake curled up in a corner, ready to strike a fatal blow at any moment.
The man had a faint smell of blood and medicine on him. Jiang Xile glanced at him and guessed that he must be injured.
"What do you want to do!"
"Heh, what do you want to do! What I want to do depends on whether your father and your husband know what's good for them!"
The man, holding a pistol, lifted Jiang Xile's chin and scrutinized her expression.
A flicker of fear crossed Jiang Xile's eyes, and her lips turned pale, but she still stubbornly stared at the other person.
"Hehe, as expected of Jiang Yanshu's daughter, she does have some backbone. I'm not the kind of person who makes things difficult for women."
"If Jiang Yanshu hadn't pressed us so much, and if Liu Ziming hadn't been so ungrateful, we wouldn't have needed to invite you here!"
The man who called himself "Master Hai" put down his gun and made a gesture to his henchman beside him.
Two henchmen carrying ropes walked over.
"No need to tie her up. She's just a woman; she can't cause any trouble. Just take her to the back and wait. She's our last bargaining chip!"
"Yes, Master Hai!"
By feigning weakness, Jiang Xile aimed for the desired effect—to be looked down upon and despised, thus creating an opportunity for himself.
Jiang Xile was led behind the sack by the two henchmen. As they passed the group of people, she clearly saw the guns and ammunition they had placed at their feet.
The sacks in front of them, like piled-up trenches, served as their natural cover.
It seems today is bound to be a fierce battle. Should I make the first move?
"Hurry up, don't dawdle!"
The younger brother, growing impatient, shoved Jiang Xile from behind again.
This is the second time!
Jiang Xile glanced at the person and silently made a mental note of it.
Suppress your anger for now. Once you've taken down these people, see how I teach you bastards a lesson.
Behind the piles of sacks, Jiang Xile found a corner to sit down.
The two people who were sent over each found a seat and sat down. Although they were opposite Jiang Xile, they obviously didn't take her seriously, which made things much more convenient for her.
Before long, another series of hurried footsteps came from outside.
"Uncle Hai... Uncle Hai... They're here!"
"Really? How many people came? Where are they?"
"There's one car. I'm looking through my binoculars. It's just Liu Ziming and Jiang Yanshu!"
"They really have guts! Go and scout around again to see if they're being followed!"
"yes!"
The warehouse was empty, and Jiang Xile heard the entire conversation between the two. Feeling a little worried, she prepared to take action.
Leaning against the sack, Jiang Xile channeled her consciousness into the space, found the sleeping gas she had collected before, and quietly took it out.
This sleeping gas was researched and improved by the Post-Apocalyptic Science Research Lab. Originally designed to be used to capture mutated beasts, it is colorless and odorless, and can be dispersed freely as long as there is wind.
Opening a bottle of sleeping gas can incapacitate all living beings within a 20-cubic-meter radius.
Although I am a bit far from those people, I am definitely no more than twenty meters away.
Before opening the sleeping gas, Jiang Xile raised her hand and made a face-wiping motion, but actually took the opportunity to take the antidote for the sleeping gas first.
